Informational Handout for mainstream teachers
The purpose of this handout is to inform mainstream teachers about our current ESL population at the school. This group of students continues to grow rapidly. It is unfortunate, but very common for these students to be over looked. We do not want this special group of students to slip through the cracks of our educational system.
I ask that if any of you have any questions regarding any ESL students you might have in your classes, to please openly communicate any concerns with me or any of the other ESL teachers. It is crucial to make sure these students are receiving the highest level of education at our school.
The following handout will outline the languages and cultures of our ESL population, along wtih the factors that they are dealing with. I have also added a few guidelines you might want to check out. Please also check out the following websites, as they have even more information regarding this topic.
